Weed Snvlnu and Seed Haying. There are some specie* of seeds It la not advisable lo attempt to save In the Hottth. such as cauliflower. cald*age. onion turnips, celery, beet, etc., hut on tne other hand the number of species that w-* can adiantMgi-ously rove are numerous, ami there are several kinds that we mlgnt save extensively to sell to Northern seed-men I'or early market purpose* many are of ihe opinion that It Is not desirable lo save our own corn seed, but should pro . tire it from the North every sra-on. The claim is mod*- that even In one year our home saved corn will lose Its early qual ity—fully two weeks Such varieties as Karly Adams for instance and the Penn sylvania Flint and Tuecarora. also, of course, two weeks makes a very grent difference to the market gardener, and that much time in marketing means a great deal, usually. Be Ihltl as It may. we think It la well to save n part, at least, of U' seed corn. and. especially so If we have anything very choice of Its kind. It may he and we have no doubt It Is so with most specie* of plants, that they gradually lone something of their quality for early maturing, when brought from Northern climes to extreme south erly latitudes Still there are many kinds that It is desirable lo acclimate, and to make use of constantly on account of ci rtain other conditlona and circum stance*, In more or less quantities we should save most of our own seeds of curumtiers, melons, watermelons, squash, lieans. snap snJ butter; egg plant, pepper, tomato, okra, lettuce. It doe* not pay to attempt the saving of seed of any of the bien nials, to which class all the roots be long. If reduced to the necessity of doing so w> might save our own rollnid *eed, but. tn view of the facts, we .tn better leave that to our Buncombe county. (N (M friends They make H business of growing the very best of eollard seed* and sell them cheap enough to obviate any need for our growutg them down this way, where It Is n little more difficult to grow them satisfactorily. Tho*e who know how to grow the aec. nnd crop of Irish potatoes, should by all means save their own potato seed from that < rop for the following spring plant ing Those who do not grow the at ond crop will of necessity have lo buy their seed potatoes for the spring planting Out own sweet potato "seed," of course, we save, and we should save an abundance of Ho in this fall The ares on every farm should he doubled next year. A* wl h corn, there Is going lo he a foreign de mand for our sweet potatoes after awhile It should he the policy of our national (and state T> government to keep a score or two of gemlemenly drummers on the steady go tn Kurope and the East, each with a pone of cornbrrad In one hand and a broken Georgia yam In the other. The poorer classes of Europe have much yet to learn about cheap, healthy food. Speaking of seed saving hence It Is rrus we ought to save a great ponton at least of our garden eeed*. for It will be found lo be a groat saving when we com* to make up a list of the essential* of the garden for Ihe coming year.
